Skywalker is narrating

It was a nice, and beautiful day. The sun was shining, and a nice cool breeze was blowing all around the train station in Harmon.

Skywalker: *Waiting for seguinte train*
Bartholomew: *Arrives in commuter train*
Lady: *Stops commuter*
Bartholomew: *Comes out of train* Hello Skywalker.
Skywalker: Mornin' Bartholomew. Sure is a nice day, isn't it?
Bartholomew: Oh, yes it is. That breeze feels really good.
Henrietta: *Arrives* Good morning gentlecolts.
Bartholomew & Skywalker: Hello.
Henrietta: I have just recieved word that some ponies on our railroad have created a division of our company that drive tugboats. They'll bring in freight from Harmon to Manehattan, so all you have to do is bring the freight here, and let the ponies, and their tugboats do the rest.
Skywalker: That's not fair. Those ponies, and their tugboats should go do what their supposed to do, and mess around with big ships at a harbor.
Henrietta: I agree with you Skywalker, but these ponies won't take no for an answer.
Bartholomew: Who are they?
Henrietta: The Zero Stacks.
Bartholomew: Do you know any of their names?
Henrietta: I know one of them is named Zorran. He's their leader.
Bartholomew: Oh no! Ten Cents told me about Zorran, and he's not a nice pony.
Skywalker: If I ever see that Zorran, I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind!
Master Sword: *Arrives* Mornin' everypony, what'ya talking about?
Skywalker: Guess.
Master Sword: You're not talking about me, and Whirl Wind behind our backs, are you?
Bartholomew: No, this part of our railway called Zero Stacks. They drive tugboats, and are going to take our freight from here to Manehattan.
Master Sword: They can't do that!
Bartholomew: I know, but they won't stop bothering Henrietta about it.
Master Sword: What do we do?
Bartholomew: I have no idea.

It would all come down to this. We would either lose money from these Zero Stacks, (or Z stacks for short) or we could form a rivalry with these ponies, and stop bringing them freight. I told everypony else about our suggestions, and we started thinking quickly.

Skywalker: So, what do we do?
Master Sword: Well, I'm definitely not letting this railway get out of business.
Bartholomew: I agree. Unless some other railway gets forced to merge with us fifteen years from now, I think this railroad will last for a very long time.
Skywalker: *Glares at Bartholomew*
Master Sword: So it's settled. We won't give those Z stacks any of our freight.

So it was settled. We refused to bring any freight to the Z stacks, and brought it all the way to Manehattan in our trains.

Later, at West Croton Yards.

Captain Zero: Why haven't we gotten any freight into Manehattan yet?
Zorran: We're trying boss, but the railway is refusing to give any freight to us.
Captain Zero: We work for them. They have to give us the freight!
Zorran: Well, I got an idea. There's a bridge that goes over part of the Hudson River. If we somehow get that taken down, then they'll have to let us get the freight into Manehattan.
Captain Zero: Good thinking Zorran. Tell Zebedee, and Zug to get here right away.
Zorran: Right you are. *Gets in his car, and drives to docks*

Later that day.

Bartholomew: *Switching freight cars in Croton West Yards*
Ten Cents: What's the matter Bartholomew?
Bartholomew: Remember that pónei, pônei Zorran you told me about?
Ten Cents: Yes.
Bartholomew: He's trying to take our freight away from us.
Ten Cents: Oh no. We can't let them do that.
Bartholomew: I know.
Ten Cents: What have you been doing?
Bartholomoew: Well so far, we haven't given any of the freight to the Z stacks. We just kept going into Manehattan.
Ten Cents: Good. Keep it up.
Bartholomew: That's what I'm worried about. If we keep it up, they might create a plan of attack.
Ten Cents: Well for now, I think you should be okay.
Bartholomew: Yes, I hope you're right. *Finishes switching freight cars* Okay, I just got a freight ready for Chicagoat.
Ten Cents: It's a good thing those Z stacks aren't trying to take over every freight train. That would be terrible.
Bartholomew: Yes, that would be terrible. I have to get back to the station, and take a train north.
Ten Cents: Are you going all the way to Albany?
Bartholomew: No, there isn't enough time. I'll go into Peekskill, and let another crew take over. Then, I'll get onto a commuter train for Manehattan, which is where I live.
Ten Cents: Where in Manehattan do you live?
Bartholomew: Near Grand Central Station.
Ten Cents: Interesting. See you later.
Bartholomew: Yeah, see you. *Drives switch engine to station*

I was bringing in a freight from Albany, when I saw Bartholomew leaving the yards in a switcher.

Skywalker: *Stops train in Croton West Yard* oi Ten Cents. Where's he going?
Ten Cents: Back to the station. It'll be time for him to go início soon.
Skywalker: Okay.
Bartholomew: *Stops engine at servicing facility* Good thing the facility is near the train station.
Lady: *Driving electric train northbound*
Zorran: Alright, get that bridge down!
Zebedee: *Driving tug, and trying to pull down bridge*
Zug: *Doing the same*
Captain Zero: Pull harder for crying out loud!
Lady: *Sees tugboats* Whatever they're trying to pull, it's not moving.

But as soon as she said that, the bridge soon fell into the river. Unfortunately, Lady's train also went into the river.

Zorran: Yes! Good work. Now, let's get out of here.
Zebedee & Zug: *Drive away*
Skywalker: *Runs to Lady's train* I hope she's alright.
Henrietta: What is going on?
Skywalker: Lady drove her train into the water.
Henrietta: Stupid doppelganger. *Follows Skywalker*
Lady: *Emerges from water*
Henrietta: You fool! Look at what you've done!
Lady: Sorry.
Henrietta: That's not good enough. I will need $145,000 for that locomotive you just drowned.
Lady: You could scrap it, and get the money.
Henrietta: Hey, that's not a bad idea.
Zorran: *Walks up* May we be able to help you?
Henrietta: Yes. You may get our freight from here to Manehattan, while the bridge is being fixed.
Zorran: Thank you. I'll tell Captain Zero right away.

At the time, no one (except for the Z stacks) knew that the bridge was pulled down por a couple of tugs, driven por four ponies.

seguinte day, Lady was talking about the bridge to me, and Master Sword

Lady: I swear, that bridge moved to the left when I saw it mover into the water.
Master Sword: Are you sure?
Lady: Yeah!
Skywalker: You could be right, but how would we get Henrietta to believe you? She hates doppelgangers.
Lady: Maybe if you two tell her for me, then she'll believe it.
Skywalker: Maybe.
Master Sword: It's worth a shot.

Later in Henrietta's room.

Skywalker: *Knocks on door*
Henrietta: Come in.
Skywalker: *Opens door* Good morning ma'am.
Master Sword: And good morning from me too.
Henrietta: May I help you?
Master Sword: Yes. We're here in regard of Lady.
Henrietta: What does that lousy doppelganger want?
Skywalker: Forgiveness. She didn't mean to drive the train into the water.
Henrietta: Well it happened, so who cares?
Master Sword: She says the bridge was pulled down por the Z stacks.
Henrietta: Really?
Skywalker: Well think about it. We have refused to give those ponies any of our freight.
Henrietta: That does make sense. And, they aren't even fixing the bridge like I told them to. I'll talk to them.

So Henrietta did talk to them. The Neigh York Central would not give the freight to any of the Z stacks, and they fixed the bridge theirselves.

The Z stacks wouldn't give up though, but we'll continue that story later.

The End

Episode 4

All Together

July 11, 1953

Henrietta is narrating

Although our railroad had a fleet of tugboats that were supposed to help out with the freight, the ponies driving those tugs went for the complete opposite. Sometimes however, they still worked together to get the job done.

I remember one dia when Zorran had a job to tow an old tramp steamer north up the hudson river, but accidentally destroyed one of our bridges.

Zorran: *On radio* Zip, can you hear me?
Zip: Yes sir. I'm coming in to assist you.
Zorran: Good. We need to get this thing to the salvage team right away.
Lady: *Driving commuter train passed Zorran*
Bartholomew: *Sees Zorran*
Zorran: *Driving tugboat that is towing tramp steamer* Come on Zip, hurry up!
Zip: I'm going as fast as I can. My barco isn't as fast as yours.
Zorran: *Going faster* Come on! Speed up! Speed up!
Zip: I can't!

Soon, the tramp steamer crashed into the bridge, and it got destroyed again. Thankfully, Lady got the commuter train across the bridge.

Zorran: You bastard, look what you've done.
Zip: I-I didn't mean too. You went too fast.
Zorran: Now we need help getting this bridge fixed. Or maybe...
Zip: What are you thinking about?
Zorran: Sorry Zip, but you have to stay here. *Drives away*
Zip: You can't just leave me here!
Zorran: Sure I can. *Leaves* No trains can get across. It will be just like last week.

Skywalker was taking another commuter southbound to Grand Central, but he saw the bridge was destroyed, and he had to stop.

Skywalker: *Gets out of engine* Zip, what did you do?
Zip: I didn't do this! It was Zorran.
Skywalker: Alright, get the bridge fixed.
Zip: I don't know how!
Skywalker: Great.

Zorran stopped at Peekskill where Captain Zero was waiting.

Zorran: The barco is stuck, but it destroyed part of that bridge.
Captain Zero: Where's Zip?
Zorran: He's with the boat.
Captain Zero: Okay. Get back there, and help him mover that boat.
Zorran: Yes sir.

At Croton Harmon, everything was blocked up. With the bridge destroyed, nopony could get their trains across the river.

Skywalker: What do we do?
Master Sword: We fix it like we did earlier.
Bartholomew: Or we could just build over the boat.
Skywalker: That's crazy.
Master Sword: It's so crazy, that it might actually work.
Bartholomew: Alright then. We need mais materials to build track over that barco then.
Zip: *Arrives* Wh-what are you doing?
Bartholomew: We're rebuilding our line over that boat.
Zip: That's not a good idea. Zorran, and I need to get that barco to salvage.
Skywalker: What would they want that tramp steamer for? It's rusty, and broken.
Master Sword: We can just build a line over it, and get everything over with.

Zorran had to tie up his tugboat, and refuel it at Oscawanna Island. The fuel truck was on it's way when he saw Ten Cents driving an inspection car on the tracks.

Zorran: Ten Cents? Aren't you supposed to be in Harmon?
Ten Cents: *Stops* No. What are you doing here anyway?
Zorran: I have to refuel my tugboat. I thought you were sent into Manehattan.
Ten Cents: Ha! Wrong again Zorran. *Gets out of inspection car* I was sent north to fix the main line, in Albany.
Zorran: All the way there. Interesting.
Ten Cents: It sure was. I got a gift from this nerdy pónei, pônei named Nick Gerard, but guess what it is.
Zorran: A calculator?
Ten Cents: Wrong three times in a row. He gave me dynamite.
Zorran: Dynamite?!
Ten Cents: Strange gift, I know. But I guess it'll have to do. *Gets in inspection car, and goes to Harmon*
Zorran: Oh no. If he gets to Harmon, he'll blow that barco up, and the bridge will be able to be fixed.

Later in Harmon.

Lady: *Hammers in spike* That's it. We finished rebuilding the track.
Henrietta: *Looking at track* That looks very bad. You should have removed the barco before rebuilding the track.
Master Sword: Oh it's fine the way it is.
Henrietta: Then please explain to me the poor condition of the track, that was just layed.
Master Sword: Uhm...
Ten Cents: *Arrives* oi everypony. What happened here?
Henrietta: A barco crashed, and destroyed our bridge, and we have to mover it out of the way.
Ten Cents: Leave it to me. *Sets dynamite on boat* Stand back.
Zip: You'll destroy the boat.
Ten Cents: Serves Zorran right for destroying our bridge on purpose.
Zip: But it was por accident.
Ten Cents: Was it? Well, we're still blowing up the boat, but the dynamite won't be enough to sink it.
Zip: Oh thank heavens.
Ten Cents: *Lights fuse*
Zorran: *Arrives* WHOOOOOOOOOA! NONONONONONONONONO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! DEFUSE THE DYNAMITE!!!

But it was too late. The explosion got the barco out of the way, and it was still afloat.

Zorran: Oh. *Sighs* Thank goodness.
Zip: Come on Zorran, let's get this thing to salvage.
Zorran: Um.. Right, let's go.
Bartholomew: Well, we solved this problem.
Ten Cents: And we did it all together.

The End.
